If I were a woman, I think I’d be insulted if I got a Vermont Teddy Bear from my significant other. It’s a pretty stupid idea for a gift.

Ditto for a PyjamaGram. And they don’t seem to have anything on their site that I would classify as “sexy.”

Running those bloody commercials over and over and over again is NOT a way to convince me to buy. Enough already.

Flowers are pretty, but they die too bloody soon to be worth the kind of money they’re asking.

Candy makes you fat – probably not a good gift idea, unless your S.O. is a chocoholic.

Cards are okay – but hardly original.

Diamonds? Talk about manipulating supply and demand to create a market. Diamonds are NOT RARE people! The DeBeers family laughs all the way to the bank. Don’t feed their evil plan.

Everybody’s gotta eat. Just don’t pick the wrong restaurant – you’ll never hear the end of it.

I want equal time: There should be a “Husband/Boyfriend Appreciation Day” to make up for the Hell we guys go through for Valentines Day.

If women knew what men REALLY want for Valentines Day, humankind would die out within a generation, and it would be the end of humanity as we know it.
